%FMINS	Minimize a function of several variables.
%	FMINS('F',X0) attempts to return a vector x which is a local minimizer 
%	of F(x) near the starting vector X0.  'F' is a string containing the
%	name of the objective function to be minimized.  F(x) should be a
%	scalar valued function of a vector variable.
%
%	FMINS('F',X0,OPTIONS) uses a vector of control parameters.
%	If OPTIONS(1) is nonzero, intermediate steps in the solution are
%	displayed; the default is OPTIONS(1) = 0.  OPTIONS(2) is the termination
%	tolerance for x; the default is 1.e-4.  OPTIONS(3) is the termination
%	tolerance for F(x); the default is 1.e-4.  OPTIONS(14) is the maximum
%	number of steps; the default is OPTIONS(14) = 500.  The other components
%	of OPTIONS are not used as input control parameters by FMIN.  For more
%	information, see FOPTIONS.
%
%	FMINS('F',X0,OPTIONS,[],P1,P2,...) provides for up to 10 additional
%	arguments which are passed to the objective function, F(X,P1,P2,...)
%
%	FMINS uses a Simplex search method.
%
%	See also FMIN.
